  -> Gracias, Maru.
agree  Richard Boulter: This is surely a technical term in the source, not just a general expression. Strangely, though some of the refs Robert kindly provided demonstrate this, he capitalized 'Anchor' to indicate the chain franchise by that name.

  -> Gracias, Richard. It is surely a direct translation from English in the first place, I've known what an "anchor store" is for years, a big department store that is the major attraction in a shopping center.

I did not intend to capitalize this to signify the chain, I just happened to have my cap locks on when I entered the term, not even considering the chain of stores might be implied ..... Fairly sure that just: "anchor stores" is what you need here.......
